Notices:

Children

Children are welcome, but must be accompanied by
an adult at all times. (Sorry, no dropping off your kids!) Game controllers
have long cords, so be aware of tripping and other hazards.
Small parts can be found in some game and computer parts, as well as
craft projects that will be set up at the event; these can present
choking hazards.

Content Notice

Note that some game
or movie contents are not
appropriate for young children. Almost all games predate the
ESRB
(Entertainment Software Rating Board), so please use your best judgement.
We'll do our best to constrain overtly violent games to the
conference room in the back of the open meeting space.

Be Gentle

Keep in mind that the equipment and games brought to this
event are from volunteers' private collections, and are 10-30 years old,
so please treat them with care!

Photosensitive Seizure Warning

A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when
exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns
that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of
seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause
these "photosensitive epileptic seizures" while watching video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness,
altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs,
disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may
also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury
from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing
and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents
should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms - children
and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy,
consult a doctor before playing.

When:

Saturday, June 11th
12:00pm — 5:00pm

Volunteers and onlookers were welcome starting at 10:00am,
when the library opened, to help set up and ready the room for the public.
We had to be be completely cleaned up and out of the room
by 5:30pm, when the library closed — no
exceptions! Thanks for your understanding, and thanks to
everyone for your assistance! We made it out with minutes to spare!

There is plenty of parking in the library's parking lot, and on
East 14th Street and other nearby streets.

To those bringing equipment, you'll be happy to know the Blanchard
meeting room has an opening to the parking lot and sidewalk.
Feel free to begin unloading your gear and leaving it next to that door
prior to the library opening at 10:00am. (Just be sure it's not in the way
of pedestrians on the sidewalk.)
